Calendar, diary.

A new year and new hopes. You can use my calendar to whatever you like.
For examples Birthday greetings, New Year Cards.

If you like my flowers, I have included them in this zip. Zip them up in your Image folder.
Look in your Layer Palette for the different layers.

Start with a New Image, 400 x 400, transp, 16 mill. Fill the bottom layer with any color.
It is just to be able to see better. You will delete that layer later. Call it Background.
New Layer call it Box. Foreground color  #DAD9CE, Background color #F5F3E7. Preset Shapes, box.

Draw the box  120 x 155. Image, Mirror. Effects, Texture, Blinds as below.

New Layer Call it Sheet. Fore- and Background, white color.
Preset Shapes, Rectangle. Make a rectangle 96 x 127. Place the frontsheet like I did.

Effects, Noise, Add 5%, Random.

New Layer. Call it Metaltop. Preset Shapes, Rectangle. Color #FAC260 on both Fore- and Background.
Make a rectangle 100 x 20. Effects, Texture Effects, Sculpture, Gold as below.

New Layer. Call it Bottom. Draw, Point to point., width1. Antialias checked. Background color white.
Zoom the picture and draw around the lower part of the sheets like this.

This is what you will have now.

That was the calendar. Now to the fun part. The decorating.

If you like my flowerarrangement at the top, you can use my flowers included in the zip.
Copy and paste them as New Layers. Move them around to your liking.
If you want them in different colors, use Colors, Colorize.

You can use just anything for your background. Look at my suggestions.
